Passive protection for radiating assets
Protect your assets
ClearShield is a passive, physical protection array built on a unique multi-layer design that combines RF transparency, ballistic resistance and a reduced visual signature — so radars, antennas and command arrays stay protected without going blind.
The problem
The threat isn't just drones anymore
Armed drones and loitering munitions get the headlines, but radiating arrays face the same exposure from sniper fire, shrapnel and blast fragmentation, and indirect fire — mortars and other area weapons. Radars, communications antennas and command-and-control installations are exposed by definition: they have to stay in the open, they have to keep emitting, and they cannot be put behind conventional armour without being blinded by it.
That is the gap ClearShield was built to close — protection the signal passes straight through.
Camouflage netting and passive concealment help, but they aren't an absolute answer — they don't stop a direct hit, and they do nothing once a system has already been located. ClearShield is built to keep working after that point.
Already happening
Radiating assets are being lost to exactly these threats in active conflicts today — not hypothetical scenarios.
Every day without protection is a day of exposure — the risk doesn't wait.
The solution
What is ClearShield?
A passive physical protection array, built on a unique multi-layer design that combines:
RF Transparency
High transparency to radio waves, uniform across the whole surface. The protected system keeps transmitting and receiving straight through the shield.
Ballistic Resistance
Multi-layer resistance to ballistic impact and blast, in a design tuned specifically for radiating arrays rather than adapted from generic armour.
Reduced Visual Signature
The enclosure conceals what it protects, lowering the visual signature of the asset underneath and denying the operator an easy aim point.
Protection for radiating, strategic and tactical arrays
The system is passive — no power, no emissions, nothing to switch on and nothing to fail at the moment it matters. Its modularity gives it broad adaptability across different platforms and threat profiles.
Built to take the hit and keep standing
Simulated testing shows the shield absorbing a direct blast and shrapnel impact without breaching the asset it protects — surface damage, not structural failure.
What makes it different
Engineered for the hit that actually comes
Not one clean shot under ideal conditions — repeated impacts, in the field, on a system that has to keep working.
-
01
Multi-hit resilience
High resistance in a multiple-impact scenario, not a single-shot test case.
-
02
No self-generated spall
A unique design that stops the shield from becoming a source of secondary fragmentation itself.
-
03
Structural retention
High structural integrity retained even after repeated impacts.
-
04
Modularity
High modularity and broad adaptability to different systems and threat profiles.
-
05
Built for scale
A design that supports high-volume manufacturing.
-
06
Lifecycle cost
Potential to reduce maintenance and design costs over the life of the asset.
-
07
Uniform RF behaviour
High homogeneity of RF transparency across the entire protected surface.
Proven on the range
Not a simulation on paper — every layer is validated in live-fire testing, against a full spectrum of calibers from small fragments to heavy rounds.
Applications
Broad coverage for radiating assets
Wherever something has to stay in the open and keep emitting.
Dual use isn't an afterthought — it's a design principle. The same protection carries straight over to the civilian side — cellular infrastructure, critical communications sites and any other exposed radiating installation that cannot afford to go dark.
More potential use cases
Versatility
Built in tiers, not one-size-fits-all
Lite, Pro and Ultimate each cover a different point on the threat spectrum — protection scales with the risk, not a fixed spec.
| Threat | Lite | Pro | Ultimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9mm | |||
| 5.56 | Low velocity | ||
| Light/medium fragmentation | |||
| Heavy fragmentation | Mid velocity |

About ClearShield
Built by people who spent 20 years on the other side of the requirement
ClearShield — Magen Shakuf, the transparent shield — was founded to close a gap its founders met from the inside: radiating assets that are critical, permanently exposed, and impossible to armour by conventional means without taking them out of service.
